Deamination
Deamination is the biochemical process that removes an amino group from an amino acid, resulting in the release of ammonia and alteration of the amino acid structure, often taking place in the liver.
Amino Group
An amino group is a functional group consisting of a nitrogen atom attached to two hydrogen atoms (–NH2) and is a fundamental component of amino acids and thus proteins.
Amino Acids
Organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They contain an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, and they vary by the side chain attached to their alpha carbon.
